Speaking softly but confidently, a Brooklyn girl took the stand
Tuesday and recounted three years of sexual abuse she allegedly suffered at the
hands of her Hasidic spirtual counselor.

“I wanted to die rather than live with myself,” the 17-year-old
said as she described alleged and disturbing assaults —including oral sex — by
Nechemya Weberman, 54. She said the attacks started when she was just 12. “I
didn't know how to fight. I was numb.”

Her tale began in the sixth grade while she attended a strict
yeshiva. She asked questions about God’s existence and flouted modesty rules
requiring her to wear long skirts and thick tights.

“I was sent to the principal’s office every day because my tights
weren't thick enough,” she said in a jam-packed courtroom at Brooklyn Supreme
Court.

After being labeled a “heretic,” she was sent to Weberman for
counseling at his home office. The sessions lasted up to four hours each, multiple
times a week.

The teen testified she was forced to perform oral sex behind locked
doors every time she saw Weberman, and that she was touched inappropriately.
The alleged abuse lasted from the March 2007 until March 2010.

Recently married and wearing a tight-fitting long-sleeve blouse and
a skirt over black sheer tights, the teen clutched and squeezed a rubber stress
ball during more than five hours of grilling. Her testimony is expected to
conclude Wednesday and is the key evidence in a high-stakes case against
Weberman, a prominent counselor in the insular Satmar sect who denies any
wrongdoing.

The witness didn’t waver as defense lawyer Michael Farkas tried to
show inconsistencies between her testimony and statements she made to police
when bringing the charges in February 2011.

She acknowledged she confided in Weberman and said he used to
listen to her religious doubts.

“It wasn't just touching,” she said. “We did discuss other things.”

Many of the pretty blonde’s relatives sat in court, covering their
faces or cheering at times.

“The truth is shining through,” said Goldie Gold, the alleged
victim's aunt. “She was very brave, very courageous.”

The girl told prosecutor Kevin O’Donnell her coming forward — which
is strongly discouraged in the close-knit Jewish community she has since left —
was a sacrifice for her and her family. She was intimidated, her father lost
his business and her nieces got kicked out of school, she testified.
